Job Description

As a Field Service Technician, you’ll support complex power and control systems, focusing on low and medium voltage switchgear for both proprietary and third-party products. After completing four weeks of training on specialized equipment and commissioning processes, you’ll travel frequently—up to 75–100%—to customer sites, typically more than 100 miles away for up to two weeks at a time, with all travel expenses covered. Your work will involve installing and modifying electrical and mechanical components such as panelboard interiors, circuit breakers, bus bars, switchgear doors, subpanels, control components, and wiring. You’ll perform basic testing and commissioning of switchboards and control panels, troubleshoot electrical circuits and networking equipment, and coordinate with contractors, clients, and technical teams to resolve field issues. Additional responsibilities include preventive maintenance, field installations, system upgrades, and providing technical product support to ensure reliable performance and customer satisfaction.
